I see this when I attempt to do a restart on pulse.
The problem is that when pulse shuts down it doesn't always clean
up the nanny processess properly. The nanny processess are hanging
onto something that pulse wants, and because it can't get it, it
fails to start with that error. So check for old nanny processess.
